TIP

When determining which antenna to use (5 dBi, 7 dBi, 9dBi), consider

the distance between WRUs, and how much vegetation is in the area.

For distances of 10 m to 30 m, use a 5 dBi antenna.

Distances of 30 m or greater, use a 7 dBi or 9dBi antenna.

For sudden elevation changes, such as cliffs, use a 2 dBi or 5 dBi

antenna.
